A balding older man in a shirt and tie stands gesturing earnestly at a brown-haired woman seated at a computer desk. His speech bubble reads: "Okay, I'm unclear on which of my actions just now was sexual harassment. I'm gonna repeat everything I just did, and you tell me where it went awry." A caption beneath the panel reads: "Gotcha. Left boob off limits." The joke is that he treats a workplace harassment complaint as a debugging exercise, obliviously re-enacting his own misconduct. In the votey aftercomic, a close-up shows the same man looking smug as he says, "Gotcha. Left boob TWICE. Off limits" — having repeated the offense in the process of "reviewing" it.
